-directed inverse systems of continuous images of arcs.
For every topological property , we define the class of -approximable spaces which consists of spaces X having a countable closed cover such that the “section” has the property for each . It is shown that every -approximable compact space has , if is one of the following properties: countable tightness, -scatteredness with respect to character, -closedness, sequentiality (the last holds under MA or ). Metrizable-approximable spaces are studied: every compact space in this class has...
It is known that for a nonempty topological space and a nonsingleton complete lattice endowed with the Scott topology, the partially ordered set of all continuous functions from into is a continuous lattice if and only if both and the open set lattice are continuous lattices. This result extends to certain classes of -distributive lattices, where is a subset system replacing the system of all directed subsets (for which the -distributive complete lattices are just the continuous...
We study the behaviour of ℵ-compactness, extent and Lindelöf number in lexicographic products of linearly ordered spaces. It is seen, in particular, that for the case that all spaces are bounded all these properties behave very well when taking lexicographic products. We also give characterizations of these notions for generalized ordered spaces.
